If...you go

Because here in this Keep,

Commander Kaempffer

you may learn something new

neither you nor the Keep

can teach me anything

We found the rest of Steiner,

well, Commander Kaempffer

let's see the latest present

our friend has left us

Come

Bring a hostage

Explain this Kaempffer,

this is what's

happening to us

-What do these words mean?

-Herr officer, I don't know

Don't lie to me, those words

are Romanian

What do they say,

I want to know

They look like Romanian

Herr Officer..but they're not

-I don't know

what they say!

-He's telling the truth

Make him stop,

What do you suggest I do?

Arrest him?

Priest, your next

Teach him the art

of translation

Herr Officer,

this writing is like Romanian

but different, it's meaningless

not written in the Latin alphabet,

nor the Cyerilic alphabet

What can you tell us about

the Keep we don't already know?

Me? nothing

Yes, you were about

to say more

-You can tell us nothing,

-No

-Who can?

-No one

Don't lie to me

or I'll shoot this man dead

There's a professor of

medieval history

at the university in the

city of Ayashi

He made a study of this Keep

perhaps he can translate

that for you

-His name?

-Dr. Theodore Cuza

He grew up in this village

Herr Officer

Dr. Cuza is not in Ayashi

Then where?

Dr. Cuza's a Jew

He's wherever you've

taken the Jews

Good.

The SS will bring them

today from the depot

Do you play at night?

I don't play music here

we suffer enough,

not happy here

Why are you here, girl?

I'm Eva Cuza

this is my father Dr.Cuza

We are Jews, the gypsies

are not the only ones

who are enemies of the state

When we reach that new

settlement place they

say we are going to,

then I play music for you guys

There are farms,

and wheat fields there

they said...

Where are you going

in such a hurry?

-Into the pass

-Get down

How far?

To the Keep

Move away from the machine

Open the case

Don't..

touch that

I will tell you something

if you want hope

the people who go to these

settlement camps,

there are only two doors,

One in, and one out

the one out, is a chimney

You'd better find a way to be

of use to me in three days

Three days

Or back to the camps, go you

and your daughter

What does it mean?

Can you understand it?

Well?

The former is in

the imperative

It says:

"I Will Be Free"

So we do have partisans

In zoltz navonic, but within

the Gaelitic alphabet

Your partisans

are writing to you

in a language that's

been dead for 500 years

Wood, we need wood for a fire

Does he get that cold?

Look at my father,

does he look 68?

He's 48

Eva!

He's dying from a variety

of Schleroderma

With the temperature

in this room
